Thanks for the tip! Everything I have read about Motorcraft oils here on BITOG is nothing but positive. It is really a great oil for a great price.
 
In the CVLX its about 1800RPM with 2.73s and larger 255/45R18 tires.
Its going to get 4.10s here in a month or so. It would bring it up to about 2600RPM.

The CVPI also has 3.27s as your '09 so it is the same 2000RPM.
 
2004 Honda Element
~ 3000 RPM @ 70 MPH

Slow and thirsty, but still looks new with 150K.
 
2010 focus 3,000 at 70 a little higher then i like but only a 4 speed with overdrive
 
'13 F150 3.73 gears, six speed auto and 265/70R17 GY Duratracs - 1800 RPM @ 60 MPH.

'08 F150 3.73 gears, four speed auto and 265/70R17 GY Duratracs - 2000 RPM @ 60 MPH. Most of the RPM difference is because of the Detroit Locker (loose backlash).
